Answer : The mass of cereal in two units are, 34.815 oz and 978.075 grams respectively.

Explanation :

As there are two systems for measuring the units which are English and Metric system.

The Metric System measured the things in meters, grams, liters, etc and adds prefixes like kilo, milli and centi to the count orders of the magnitude.

The English system measured the things in feet, inches, pounds, mile, etc.

As we are given the mass of cereal in 978 grams that means 987 grams is in metric unit. Now we have to convert metric unit into English unit.

Conversion factor used :  (1 oz = 28.350 g)

As, 28.350 grams = 1 oz

So, 987 grams = \frac{987\text{ grams}}{28.350\text{ grams}}\times 1oz

                        =  34.815 oz

As we are given the mass of cereal in 34.5 oz that means 34.5 oz is in metric unit. Now we have to convert metric unit into English unit.

Conversion factor used :  (1 oz = 28.350 g)

As, 1 oz = 28.350 grams

So, 34.5 oz = \frac{34.5\text{ oz}}{1\text{ oz}}\times 28.350\text{ grams}

                  =  978.075 grams

Therefore, the mass of cereal in two units are, 34.815 oz and 978.075 grams respectively.

How much conventional current must you run in a solenoid with radius = 0.05 m and length = 0.39 m to produce a magnetic field in
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of the solenoid, r = 0.05 m

length of the solenoid, l = 0.39 m

Magnetic field of the solenoid, B = 2 x 10^-5 T

Number of turns, N = 200

The magnetic field of the solenoid is given by

B=\mu _{0}ni

where, i be the current and n be the number of turns per unit length

n = N / l = 200 / 0.39 = 512.8

2\times 10^{-5}=4 \times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 512.8\times i

i = 0.031 A

A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

                    The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.
